Amendments to the City of Lancaster Zoning Ordinance or Zoning
Map shall be in accordance with the following:
All persons other than the Planning Commission desiring to amend
the Zoning Ordinance or Zoning Map shall file an application for zoning
map or text amendment with the Zoning Officer and submit the filing
fee stipulated by City Council resolution. The Zoning Officer shall
forward the application to the City Clerk.
In the case of an amendment other than that prepared by the
Planning Commission, the City Council shall submit each such amendment
to the Lancaster City Planning Commission at least 30 days prior to
the hearing conducted by the City Council on such proposed amendment
to provide the Planning Commission an opportunity to submit comments
and recommendations.
In the case of an amendment prepared by the City Administration
and/or Lancaster City Planning Commission, the Commission, at a public
meeting, will formally recommend to City Council approval or denial
of an amendment. Recommendations and comments shall be forwarded to
the Council within 30 days of the Commission's meeting.
At least 30 days prior to the public hearing on the amendment
by the City Council, the City of Lancaster shall submit the proposed
amendment to the Lancaster County Planning Commission for recommendations
along with a fee, paid by the applicant, in accordance with the latest
County fee schedule.
Before voting on the enactment of an amendment, the City Council
shall hold a public hearing thereon, pursuant to public notice. In
addition, if the proposed amendment involves a Zoning Map change,
notice of said public hearing shall be conspicuously posted by the
City of Lancaster at points deemed sufficient by the City along the
perimeter of the tract to notify potentially interested citizens.
The affected tract or area shall be posted at least one week prior
to the date of the hearing.
If, after any public hearing held upon an amendment, the proposed
amendment is changed substantially, or is revised to include land
previously not affected by it, the City Council shall hold another
public hearing, pursuant to public notice, before proceeding to vote
on the amendment.
Within 30 days after enactment, a copy of the amendment shall
be forwarded to the Lancaster County Planning Commission.
